Festival of Muses

Series of events will celebrate Women’s History Month

To celebrate Women’s History Month, Festival of Muses is a month-long series of events that will honor local women involved in the arts.

On March 6, an art exhibit will open and a matinee performance of “Gypsy” will be in Limelight Theatre, 11 Old Mission Ave.

This site will be the location of the next three events, slated for March 13, March 20 and March 27. See a description of all the events below.

The event is a collaboration of the St. Johns Cultural Council, The National League of American Pen Women-St. Augustine Branch, The Tale Tellers of St. Augustine, Jane’s Stories Press Foundation, The Limelight Theatre, and The Cyprian Center for the Expressive Arts. This is the third year the groups have come together to create the celebration of Women’s History Month.

All programs, with the exception of the matinee performance of the musical “Gypsy,” are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

These programs are made possible with the support of the St. Johns Cultural Council serving St. Johns County and the State of the Arts License Plate Grants. Go towww.stjohnsculture.com and 471-9980.
